Rossendale has three individual market towns, Rawtenstall, Haslingden & Bacup, each with their own charactering, offer independent, quirky and unique shopping opportunities.
Rawtenstall has boutique shops, popular Craft breweries, cosmopolitan eateries and a vibrant evening social scene – this varied town has something for everyone.
Meanwhile Bacup is renowned for its architectural style, with atmospheric hidden cobbled courtyards and a thriving retail offer.
Haslingden completes the Rossendale town trio with its distinctive panopticon, The Halo, as a hilltop landmark. Haslingden combines a variety of dining options, both traditional and contemporary, with the typical look and feel of a Lancashire mill town.
Rossendale is also known as Adrenaline Valley, and no wonder – there’s a wealth of leisure options here, including fitness and adventure, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and even a thrilling escape room experience!
